The next day, before dawn, someone outside was calling for Yingbao.

“Little doctor, hurry over. Master Xiao is feverish and delirious,” they said.

Yingbao slowly sat up. “Got it, I’ll be right there.”

Changxiu quickly got up to help her dress and fetch water for her to wash up.

Once she was ready, Yingbao leisurely made her way to a side hall in Qilin Hall.

At the entrance stood several eunuchs. Through the large window, she could see an Imperial Physician administering acupuncture to Xiao Chengjun.

However, Xiao Chengjun was flailing about, uncooperative.

So, two eunuchs went in and pinned him down.

Yingbao thought for a moment and decided to go in.

The Imperial Physician was intently administering acupuncture to Xiao Chengjun, asking the eunuchs to hold him down, before turning to the Senior Historian of the East Palace and saying, “We should invite someone practiced in the Healing Prayer Technique from the Imperial Medical Bureau, it seems like Master Xiao is bewitched.”

The Senior Historian nodded, turning to instruct a eunuch to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to invite a Shaman proficient in the Healing Prayer Technique.

Yingbao walked into the room, seeing Xiao Chengjun with his eyes tightly closed, his face beet red, muttering something under his breath.

After thinking a while, she took a few steps closer, trying to discern what he was saying.

After listening for a while, it seemed like he kept repeating: sorry… sorry… sorry… I didn’t want you to die… I didn’t want you to die…

Huh? It seems like this guy killed someone and was confessing in his sleep.

Leaving the room, Yingbao suddenly noticed Chen Tiantian standing at the window, looking in, worry etched clearly on her face.

And the King was also standing at the entrance of the main hall, wanting to come over but being stopped by the eunuchs.

After all, Xiao Chengjun was his childhood companion, and also his direct cousin. Naturally, he was concerned about him falling ill unexpectedly.

Yingbao walked over to Murong Xian and said, “You don’t need to worry, he’s just been frightened. The Imperial Physician just administered him acupuncture.”

Murong Xian furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “I heard from the eunuchs that he’s been encountering strange happenings all this while, is that true?”

“I have no idea.”

Yingbao said with all seriousness, “You should ask Chen Tiantian. She’s been with Master Xiao a lot lately, and they seem to get along well. She would definitely know about anything that happened.”

Murong Xian couldn’t help but chuckle, “How old are you to know what it means to get along well?”

“Of course I know. It means that Chen Tiantian likes Xiao Chengjun, and Xiao Chengjun also likes Chen Tiantian. They even went fruit picking together.”

Yingbao decided to solidify the relationship between these two, lest Chen Tiantian ascends to the position of Empress Dowager in the future and persecutes her family.

Murong Xian rubbed his temples, changing the topic, “Yingbao, are you really planning to go back to your hometown?”

“Yes!” Yingbao nodded, “Mom and I have been out for quite a while. If we don’t go back, dad will be worried. And there’re my little brothers at home. They’re still young, with no one to look after them.”

Seeing the desolate expression on Murong Xian’s face, she added, “Your Highness, now that your health is better, you can go out and have fun. In a few years, when my brother comes to Beijing for the Imperial Examination, I’ll come to see you.”

Murong Xian laughed, “Are you sure your brother can come to take the exam in just a few years?”

“Of course! His studies are going really well. Even Grandpa Wu praised him.”

Yingbao had absolute confidence in Jiang Jie. Because old Mr. Wu had said that once he turned eight, he could start taking the exams.

If her little brother got the title of Scholar when he was eight, he could then take the provincial examination at twelve or thirteen.

Once he passed the provincial examination, wouldn’t he be able to take the metropolitan examination in Beijing? At the time, she could accompany him to Beijing and take the opportunity to visit the King then.

Murong Xian did not agree with Yingbao’s words. He couldn’t imagine a child of a few years old taking part in the Imperial Examinations.
